The Canadian Press was created by newspaper publishers in 1917 to facilitate the exchange of news across a vast and sparsely populated country. During the First World War when publishers were desperate to bring news of Canadian troops in Europe to their readers, The Canadian Press began generating its own news copy and its war coverage transformed it from a distributor of information to Canada's national news reporting agency. Today, The Canadian Press is a dynamic, agile, bilingual news agency, driven by leading-edge technology and the ability to serve multimedia news to multiple platforms. It provides real-time text, photos, audio, graphics, video and online services to newspapers, broadcasters, publishers, websites, wireless carriers, cable companies, government and corporate clients.

OBS

La Presse Canadienne a été créée par les éditeurs de journaux en 1917 pour faciliter l'échange de nouvelles à travers un pays vaste et peu peuplé. Durant la Première Guerre mondiale, alors que les éditeurs tentaient désespérément d'obtenir pour leurs lecteurs des nouvelles des troupes canadiennes en Europe, La Presse Canadienne a commencé à produire ses propres dépêches et ses reportages de guerre ont transformé La Presse Canadienne de distributeur d'information en agence nationale de presse du Canada. Aujourd'hui, La Presse Canadienne est une agence de presse dynamique, souple et bilingue, qui, grâce à une technologie de pointe, offre un contenu multimédia sur de multiples plateformes. La Presse Canadienne fournit en temps réel du texte, des photos, de l'audio, des graphiques, de la vidéo et des services en ligne aux journaux, téléradiodiffuseurs, éditeurs, sites web, fournisseurs sans fil, câblodistributeurs, gouvernements et entreprises.
